"Who’s there?!"
A sudden loud scolding instantly startled everyone present.
They all had the guilty conscience of thieves. Even though Flossie Wright had said she would let them go, they were not completely safe yet. Now startled by the sudden shout, they reflexively thought of escape.
However, the three who had already managed to get out were only a few steps away when they were halted by the beam of the squad leader’s flashlight. They froze instantly, not daring to move another inch, but simply stayed still in their tracks.
As for Flossie Wright, who had blocked Clara Birch and Agnes Parker inside the door, both of them looked extremely annoyed. They also glared resentfully at Flossie.
If it weren’t for her obstruction, they would have run away long ago!
She claimed she would let them go. Clearly, she knew the squad leader was coming and deliberately delayed the time!
Pretending to be the good guy while secretly being as cruel as could be!
Catching sight of the look in Clara and Agnes’s eyes, Flossie Wright nonchalantly withdrew her hand. She didn’t bother to be polite, but simply explained to the squad leader, who approached with a stern face, "Just a few thieves."
Every time these new recruits saw the squad leader, they had never seen him smile. He always had a grave demeanor and his terrifying image had always been deeply impressed in their minds. As he approached, the outermost female soldiers didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, and they held each other’s hands tightly, as if fearing he might become brutal enough to eat them all in one bite.
Nonetheless, the squad leader just cast a glance at them and walked past them, going straight toward Flossie Wright.
After eyeing Clara and Agnes a few times, the squad leader’s dissatisfied gaze finally landed on Flossie. He asked in a rather heavy voice, "Have you eaten yet?"
Flossie shrugged, appearing relatively calm compared to the others.
"Go in." The squad leader uttered tersely, then directed a colder gaze at Agnes who still held the food. "Whatever you’ve taken, put it back!"
Agnes, directly targeted by the squad leader, felt her heart beating wildly with fear. She unintentionally swallowed and resignedly took out the food hidden under her clothes, obediently going back into the kitchen and putting it back where it belonged.
At the same time, she suddenly heard the squad leader asking again, "What do you want to eat?"
People tend to misinterpret things in their favor, as they can hardly believe they would be treated entirely without consideration. In that instant Agnes thought the squad leader was speaking to her and a glimmer of hope sparked in her heart. She turned around reflexively, only to be met with the sight of the squad leader’s side profile...
The squad leader was facing Flossie Wright, and the target of his words was also Flossie Wright.
The tiny spark of hope was instantly extinguished, without even a glimmer of light remaining.
It felt icy cold, just like the coolness of the night sky.
As for the others, they too initially harbored hopes, which, after being shattered, turned into shock and confusion...
Why ask Flossie Wright?
Paying no mind to the surrounding gaze, Flossie Wright lowered her head slightly, put her finger on her chin in thought, then finally made her request to the squad leader, "Noodles."
The squad leader usually wouldn’t get up in the middle of the night like this. His appearance here today was probably because he was worried that she might wake up and find no food to eat. As for this kindness, Flossie Wright gladly accepted. At the same time, she felt even more affectionate towards the squad leader who always wore a stern expression, because those who didn’t really care about you, wouldn’t worry about you whether you were hungry or unwell.
